1. Over time, how have members of the public administration field examined the subject of politics and administration (has the dichotomy changed)? Studies of politics and administration have been viewed in different ways; Over time, the pre-modern era has changed to that of the 21st century. In the beginning, kings had treasuries and a tax collector to oversee the daily affairs of the empire. Today, these members are public servants working at all levels of government; implement various inputs to produce the desired policies as results. New policies in public administration were spurred by popular discontent with the government. Corruption, favoritism and self-preservation have brought attention to change; which gave rise to the innovative ideas of Alexandra Hamilton, who advocated for a stronger federal government. Has the dichotomy changed? Yes, I believe that is the case, but there is certainly more to be done. It is very important to reconcile politics and administration; Waldo (1987) wrote: “Nothing is more central to thinking about public administration than the nature and interrelationships of politics and administration. Nor is the nature and relationship between politics and administration important to academic theorists. What is more important in daily functioning, year after year, decade after decade, than how politics and administration are conceptualized, rationalized and related to each other. » Today's policies are essential to the development of people; meet the needs and interests of citizens. Political change builds a greater society; these revolutions are sometimes forced by external conditions "apart from events or "shocks" - such as a change of government, an economic situation...... middle of paper ...... the general population. Ultimately, we must keep in mind that those in government will always have their hidden agendas.
